Classic Star Wars #12 represents the twelfth installment in the Classic Star Wars comic book series, brought to readers by Dark Horse Comics.
This specific Classic series presented the Star Wars daily comic strip from newspapers (specifically, the Star Wars daily newspaper strip), originally crafted by Archie Goodwin and Al Williamson in the early nineteen-eighties, in a recolored and re-edited format. Williamson added fresh artwork and panels to ensure a smoother narrative transition suitable for the standard comic book layout.
Just as Han Solo and Chewbacca successfully evade Mystra's schemes and the Raskar arena with the final legendary power gems, Luke and Threepio vanish. In reality, they've crash-landed on the frozen planet Hoth, where a cryptic benefactor saves them. However, this benefactor harbors intentions for the duo that sharply diverge from her father's: he aims to eliminate Luke and disassemble the devoted droid for parts!
